badposting is a comm where you post badly


This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.

Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?


Rules:

  1. Do not post good posts.
    • Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
    • Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
  2. This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
  3. This rule intentionally left blank.
  4. If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.

Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

I'm sorry, I was trying to keep it safe but then Dort_Owl just swooped in and took it before I even had a chance

Peel the skin off my flesh. Strip my flesh off my bones. Pick apart the very bones that make me. My organs are but benevolent oppressors. My heart beats, granting me life. I am indebted to it. My lungs give me air. I am indebted to them. My stomach lets me feed. I am indebted to them. My debt is paid in blood: if they die, so do I. Take them. What is left is a brain that allows me to think. But it is not my soul. Take it too. Leave my soul for me to keep. It did not belong where I lived. Give me a central processing unit, so that I choose what to think, not instinct. Give me a hard drive, to store my soul if this one fails. Give me a battery, so that I may feed only if I wish it, and not bring me to death when I don't. Give me a pump, so that my self does not tire from moving faster than usual. Give me a cooling system, so that I need not gasp for air, and not bring me to death when I don't. I am no longer in debt. The benevolent oppressors are no more. I do not breathe. I do not hunger. I do not die. Give me a skeleton of steel, so that I may never shatter. Give me flesh of wires and circuits, so that I may never tire. Give me skin of glass and plastic, so that I may never hurt. I feel complete. I feel whole. I feel like I belong.

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine. Your kind cling to your flesh, as though it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal.

[–] CommunistCuddlefish@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

Written by someone who's never had to do any engineering or handiwork clearly. The machine is not immortal and often is much less durable than biological tissue.

"Dongjing Owl Rapid Transit" — it's a plan where China (evil) takes over Japan (wholesome uwu) with owls
